Newbie into the fray: Font Colour?

It crashes with the error "File Graphics/Windowskins/talk1 was not found. Also, if I press F2 to preview text, the colour change does not seem to be working...:(
I'm sorry for being retarded, but I don't know the first thing about code.
All the code seems to be find in Ccoa's demo, though. (found an alternate download)
It looks really impressive, I hope I can make it run!
 
Right. This is where I show my complete disknowledge.
I decided i'd test my hex codes in her demo.
When I added an event, and put a message with "\c[0xcb9913]this is a test" then started it, the game's text was all entirely invisible. So I deleted the event. I tested the game to see what I was missing and the text was STILL invisible. I had to refresh the game to get the text back.
So I figured "the old guy with the example will work! he's already GOT the code!" so I changed his one to cb9913 to test the first of my five custom colours. I start the demo... text is once again invisible, even after I change him back, and I have to refresh the game from a backup again.

What did I do wrong?
